In 1915 France, Major Brand commands the 39th Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps. The young airmen go up in bullet-riddled "crates" and the casualty rate is appalling, but Brand can't make the "brass hats" at headquarters see reason. Insubordinate air ace Captain Courtney is another thorn in Brand's side...but finds the smile wiped from his face when he rises to command the squadron himself. Everyone keeps a stiff upper lip.

A gripping WWI drama about the impossible moral weight of command, where young pilots face certain death in outdated aircraft while their leaders grapple with unbearable orders. The film captures the camaraderie and gallows humor of men sent to fight a war that grinds them down.
